How to connect Mapbox to Claude Cowork

Cowork is Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge work. Think of it as Claude Code for everything else. It works autonomously with your computer, local files, and applications to accomplish complex tasks.

This guide walks you through the easiest and most secure way to connect your Mapbox account to Cowork via Composio Connect, enabling it to batch geocode these 10 addresses, get directions from Times Square to JFK, reverse geocode this latitude and longitude, and more such actions on your behalf without compromising your account security.

Connecting Mapbox to Claude Cowork

1. Open Customize

In Claude Desktop, click Customize in the left sidebar, then select Connectors and click the + icon at the top.

2. Add the Composio MCP server

Click Add custom connector and paste in the Composio MCP server URL:

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Mapbox through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

The Mapbox MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Mapbox account. It provides structured and secure access to your mapping and location data, so your agent can perform actions like geocoding addresses, calculating travel routes, retrieving map embeds, and analyzing travel matrices on your behalf.

• Batch and individual geocoding: Instantly convert addresses or place names to geographic coordinates—or reverse geocode coordinates to place names—using both batch and individual tools.
• Route and directions retrieval: Let your agent fetch optimized driving, walking, or cycling directions between waypoints, including turn-by-turn instructions when needed.
• Distance and travel time analysis: Have the agent generate travel time and distance matrices to compare routes or plan logistics across multiple locations.
• Map style embed generation: Retrieve ready-to-use embeddable HTML for your custom Mapbox map styles, perfect for sharing or displaying maps in web apps.
• Permanent geocoding and font data retrieval: Access enterprise-grade, cacheable geocoding data or fetch font glyph ranges for custom rendering and advanced mapping use cases.
